HTML file extension on ALL dowloads

I am new to Mac ... MacBook Pro, OS X Tiger ... so this may be a pretty basic question, the answer to which I cannot find in these archives.
Whenever I receive an email with an attachment, regardless of the source application of the attachment, e.g. Word, Acrobat .pdf, etc., Mac dowloads it and adds it to the dowload window on the desktop with an .html file extension. For example FileName.doc.html.
I'll be dardned if any application, to include the MacWord or Acrobat 7 Reader will open, in readable fashion, their respective / original files once the .html extension has been added. Nor have I found a way to simply access the file and rename it without the .html extension, thereby 'tricking' the file into opening in its native application. Some of these files do 'open' in a window but show only gibberish code.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks,

I haven't seen this before but my suggestions are:
John: Many thanks for that recommendation. I will give that a shot, and see what pans out. Will let your know the outcome.

1. Don't download an attachment but drag it to your
desktop, a folder or onto the icon of the application
which opens it (like Preview for a .pdf).
2. Toss the downloads folder and / or change the
location for mail downloads - which by default is in
your user library. My assumption is an action is
somehow attached to that folder which renames every
item put in it. I can't see how this would be Mail's
doing.

Default WorkBook file extension for all users of BEx 7 in Offce 2007

Hi Experts
We recently started using office 2007 with BEx 7.
However, many users still has Office 2003 installed.
I am looking to set the default file extension for all users to be .XLS.
I know that this option is available in Client level (Global Settings - Use XLS file format ) but I require that the checkbox will be automatically checked.
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks,
Yaniv

Hello Yaniv,
Yes, you can maintan them globally.
this can be done in registry under :   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\BEx\Analyzer.
   UseXLSFileFormat
   Type: String Value
   Value true or false
For more information refer to SAP Note 1254112

I had all my files, including bookmarks, backed up to my NAS when my hard drive failed. How do I import these bookmarks to Firefox on my new notebook? Is there a single HTML file I should be looking for on my NAS?

I had all my files, including bookmarks, backed up to my NAS when my hard drive failed. How do I import these bookmarks to Firefox on my new notebook? I can easily find the folder "Favorites" on my NAS, but can't get Firefox to "see" this folder, or my bookmarks.

If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.
See:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".
You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.

I can't import my favorites from FF on Windows XP hard drive because it can't see the Favorites HTML file.

My old computer was windows XP and I had a second, larger hard drive with Ubuntu on it. My computer crashed because of the motherboard. I had both hard drives moved to a newer computer (motherboard from 2006) and computer could not boot to windows. It's now booted to the Ubuntu drive and I can access my old info on the windows XP drive. I would like to import my favorites from FF on my windows XP drive to my FF on my Ubuntu drive but "import data from another browser" doesn't find anything because it's looking on my Ubunto drive not my windows XP drive. I tried creating an HTML document of my favorites on the windows drive but when trying to import the HTML file of my favorites on Ubuntu, it can't see it...but Dolphin can see the HTML file I created.

Did you use Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML ?
Does the HTML backup have a .html file extension?

Change document type without changing file extension

I've recently started using Dreamweaver CS3 after nearly a decade on Homesite (which regrettably wouldn't work on my new Windows 7 machine). I like Dreamweaver's code view but find it lacking in some of the flexibility and intelligence that Homesite had.
Case in point: I work on a rather large site that uses Classic ASP. Most of the site uses .html file extensions, but we have these configured to be processed through the ASP engine. When editing the pages on this site, Dreamweaver sees the .html file extension and assumes they're regular HTML documents, and color codes them accordingly, but it can't figure out ASP comments and code blocks and mangles the color coding. If I try to change the Document Type (in the Application > Server Behaviors panel), Dreamweaver insists on changing the file extension too.
It appears I can modify Dreamweaver's MMDocumentTypes.xml file so that it thinks .html files are ASP. But I don't want to do this globally for ALL the sites I work on, only for this particular site. It would be really nice if I could change the document type definitions on a per-site basis, or to change the document type for a file without having to change the file extension. Surely I'm not the first person to use non-standard file extensions on webpages. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I think you have to disable it in your Operating system:

My last laptop crashed (pc) and I saved the harddrive but I was unable to export as .html file, just have long, several hundred list. I don't want to export one by one, what can I do?

My last laptop (os vista) died, all I could save was the hard drive. I was given an old spare by a friend (os xp) but my favourites are in one folder (plus the several subfolders I had arranged them in) which I've transferred, however the folder is not a single .html file. Rather all of them are arranged as their individual urls. There are hundreds, how can I import the lot? I don't have the time to do them one by one.
thank you

The photos are on the ipod. Photo sync will erase them. I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck. They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed.

Exporting a String Array to an HTML file

Hey everyone..I'm currently making lots of progress in my project...but right now I've been trying to make a button that exports my search results to an html file...basically what I've made is a search engine to search webcrawler files...
The result list I get (which is actually a string array), I want to export to html so I can open that html file and find all the links that were found in the search I made..What I have so far is this, but it's not working yet, any help? :
    private class exportListener implements ActionListener
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            String[] result = parent.getResult();
            if(result == null)
                return;
            JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
            chooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
            chooser.setFileFilter(new HtmlFileFilter());
            chooser.setDialogType(JFileChooser.SAVE_DIALOG);
            int returnVal = chooser.showSaveDialog(parent);
            if(returnVal == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION)
                return;
            File fl = chooser.getSelectedFile();
            String path = fl.getPath() + ".html";
            searchIF.exportResultAsHtml(path);
            System.out.println(path);
    private class HtmlFileFilter extends FileFilter
        public String getDescription(){return "Html";}
        public boolean accept(File pathname)
            String name = pathname.getPath();
            //Just checking to see if the filename ends with html.
            if (name.toLowerCase().substring(name.lastIndexOf('.') + 1).equals("html"))
                return true;
            return false;
        }

Actually..nevermind, sorry.

Combine pdf + html files

Hello
I am familiar with how to combine several pdfs into one pdf, and I love the Bookmarks as a built-in navigation panel for my project.
Now I'm trying to integrate the next step.
My goal is a cd with 3 items in the navigation panel:
book 1 (from a pdf)
book 2 (from a pdf)
Genealogy
I have a folder with a bunch of HTML files, and sub-folders with other HTML files (they were all nicely generated by the genealogy software I use). I know that the primary file that runs the series of HTML files is called index.html
I can easily combine the 2 pdf files, and the index.html into 1 master pdf. But that seems inadequate; the other html files are not in the combined pdf, and the links from index.html to the other files die.
Should I be using Portfolio?

Thank you for your feedback, but I think I need to clarify, and update.
For the moment, I am not trying to create a site.
I am trying to put PDF files and a tree of HTML files/folders, all onto one CD
With a menu to navigate.
I have solved this by doing the following:
- on my desktop, I have a folder (eg, TEMP) which contains the pdf files, and the lead HTML file (INDEX.HTML) as well as its subordinates
- within that folder, I made a pdf that combined the multiple pdf files, and saved it (let's say I called it Menu.pdf)
- I opened the Menu.pdf file, and, in the BOOKMARK panel, I added a bookmark, whose action is to open the INDEX.HMTL file
- I burned the TEMP folder to a CD
The end result when I load the CD is that 2 items show up in Finder:
- Menu.pdf
- folder with my html hierarchy
When the user opens the Menu.pdf file, they Bookmark Navigation Panel gives them options like:
- History (which opens the Family History.pdf)
- Recipes (which opens the Family Recipes.pdf
- Genealogy (which opens the INDEX.HTML file within the folder, and the all the subordinates are linked properly)
Granted, I may not be explaining it with every nuance..... and it took me 5 CDs to get it the way I wanted it. But now it is exactly what I wanted, so that 's good!

Firefox will not display my HTML file as its contents - only displays the HTML text (firefox 5.0).

I can download a file as a Firefox file (zipped) and it displays successfully. Then I can save the file as a text file and see the HTML text.
When I work on the HTML text file and then try to display the modified file in Firefox 5.0 and Windows XP, Firefox will only show the HTML text, not the display of the contents of the file.

Make sure that the file has a .html file extension if you want Firefox to render the content.

Bridge removing file extension after batch rename

Hi All,
I've been having trouble with what appears to be a problem with Bridge in Photoshop CS2. I'm well aware this is an older version but, in this case, I don't think that should matter. Here is my situation:
After batch renaming jpeg files, I've had a problem with Bridge simply stripping off the file extension on all the newly renamed files. This never happens right away...always later. In other words, I'll batch rename a folder full of photos without issue, note that the rename was successful, and then return to that same folder a short time later to find white thumbnails and missing file extensions. This has happened exactly the same way on two different computers - and always with the delay.
This is getting to be very annoying. Has anyone had or heard of a similar issue? Thanks very much...

First use the menu tools / cache / purge cache for folder, if still in trouble restart Bridge holding down option key to refresh preferences

Where are my file extensions?

Hi All,
I have two iPhoto libraries (one in the default package and one in a new package), and one of them shows my file extensions and the other does not.
In my default library, all of my pictures are in the library because iPhoto sucked them off my memory cards. In this package, the title field (which is the field shown below the pictures, if you want) has the filename *with extension*.
In my second library, all of the pictures were imported from an existing file structure on my hard drive. In this other package, all of the titles are missing the file extension!
I cannot find any setting that changes the behavior of what goes into the title field, but I would very much like to see file extensions in all of my libraries. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to accomplish this?
Merry Christmas (If that's your persuasions)

they are in your temporary internet files cache and they are

I can not open files in my jZIP folders, they are either .PHP or html files what program do I use or how do I open them... Doug

Hi I have download files using jZIP and then I can't find a program that will open them... they are .PHP and .html file extensions... what do I do.. Doug

Hello ,
Dear friend ''''' .PHP ''''' files are a server side pages or scripts it needs a server to run on it or to be executed , so you will have to install something like apache server you will find a great application that enables your system to work as a localhost server
>> http://download.cnet.com/XAMPP/3000-10248_4-10703782.html
but HTML file can easily opened by any browser like Firefox or IE
also if you need to edit the content of their code you will have to obtain a code editor like Notebad++

BC and Dreamweaver CS4 template file extensions

I'm building a site suing BC extension for Dreamweaver CS4, but I can't get the templates to work. If I create them in Dreamweaver with the .dwt file extension, BC doesn't recognise them when they are uploaded. If I create them in BC control panel, they get a .html file extension and Dreamweaver doesn't recognise them. This means the local files in Dreamweaver don't recognise my CSS and everything needs to be built in the BC control panel, which is painfully slow. Very frustrating. What am I doing wrong? Please tell me I don't have to add my CSS to the BC CSS!

Hi Brad. Did that at first, but the templates didn't show up in BC. I've just altered a .dwt template in Dreamweaver and uploaded it to BC, but it didn't overwrite the one that's already there.

Links in Flash and HTML files

Hi,
I hope someone can help me - it is probably a simple thing,
but have searched the help files etc.
I have a flash document with 3 buttons, each with links. When
I publish the file, the links in the SWF file work fine, but those
in the HTML file don't (all other actions are OK).
I doubt this important, but I have Flash CS3 on an offline
computer.
Please help!!
Mark.

This is the html code - it is just copied from the file which
is published in CS3.
Thanks.
